Memory Escape

Part 6

"It's strange. I always knew her as the happy smiley one."

"She was." I smiled to myself, remembering her as a child. She truly was happy. She would always smile and laugh when she played with her friends at the playground. I on the other hand, was always the lonely child, sitting somewhere and watching her. Some kids took me as a stalker and screamed at me, but I didn't care. I just wanted to see her, and look up to the day when I could finally approach her and meet her. God, was I naive.

"She was happy, until I came."

He looked at me curiously, hoping for an explanation.

"When I met her, at first, she didn't know who I was..."

-FLASHBACK-

"Minchi! Pass me the ball!"

"Oh okay!"

I nervously stood as I watched her. She was just like mom described her. We looked exactly the same.

"Catch it!"

"Noo! Minchii! You never throw the ball good enough!"

Suddenly, I noticed their princess ball rolling itself to me.

"I'll get it!"

My eyes went from the ball, to the happy little girl who was running towards me to get the ball.

"Hey! Can you pass the ball please?"

Shock filled my entire body. She spoke to me. She really did.

"Excuse me!"

She yelled louder.

"Can you pass the ball?!"

I gulped nervously, as she just sighed annoyingly and started to come closer to me. She stood right in front of me, and bent to pick up the ball. I was just looking at her, in complete disbelief. Was this the moment I dreamed of, was I finally going to meet her?

"You're a first grader, right?" she asked, and I nodded

"Minchi, I-"

"You know my name?"

I quickly nodded again, as I smiled wide. Hope filled my entire body. Once again, I could feel happiness.

"I-You-We-"

I kept stuttering, as she just looked at me weirdly, not understanding a word I said.

"I-I found you!"

I jumped happily all of a sudden.

"You found who?"

"You! Minchi! My sister!"

Her lips parted a little, and her body just froze. She dropped the ball she was holding, and looked at me in complete shock.

"Aren't you going to hug me?" I asked, a bit sad. She didn't respond and just kept looking at me.

I smiled sheepishly and started to come closer to her, hoping to hug her.

"Get away from me! Don't touch me!" she yelled and backed away from me, which completely broke my heart. She was rejecting me.

"What? But-"

"I hate you! You brat! I want nothing to do with you! Get away from me!"

She kept screaming at me. Tears were staining my cheeks, as I looked at her in disbelief. The feeling of sadness completely consumed my body.

"You stupid idiot! I hate you!!"

I let out little sobs and just kept looking at her.

"I hate you!!!" she yelled and punched me in the face, causing me to fall to the ground.

"Go die!"

From that moment, she went crazy. She kept on punching and kicking me, saying she hates me. Adults came running, and pulled her away from me, but she didn't give up. She battled wth them, throwing herself everywhere, just to get ahold of me again. Her arms and legs were flying everywhere as she tossed and turned, wanting to get out of the woman's grip.

"Calm down, child!"

"No! Let me go! I want to-! I hate you! I hope you die!"

My eyes started blurring and I started to lose consciciousness. Suddenly, I felt two hands wrapping themselves around my fragile body.

"I'll take her to the hospital!"

That was the last thing I remembered, before waking up later that day in the hospital.
